According to rumors, the announcement or the beginning of sales of Intel desktop processors, codenamed Coffee Lake will be held on October 5 . Together they will be presented with a compatible Intel Z370. This will be an intermediate solution, because the processors are already ready and they can not be installed in the motherboards of the 200 series. The location of the keys in the LGA 1151 connector in the case of Coffee Lake models is such that they do not fit into the connector on the
boards for Skylake or Kaby Lake, as well as the latter can not be installed in boards on 300 chipset.

In short, the Z370 will be actually the renamed Z270. A truly new chipset for Coffee Lake models is expected in the second half of next year, which will be Z390. Intel Z390 will bring to the company's platforms integrated Wi-Fi channel modem, six USB 3.1 ports and support for SDXC memory cards. Mass update of Intel chipsets for Coffee Lake processors of medium and low levels is expected in the first quarter of 2018. At this time, the market will have mobos on H370,
Q370, Q360, B360 and H310. All of them will receive new extensions, which will later appear in the Z390 set (built-in Wi-Fi and the rest).
